Size Doesn’t Matter. It’s How You Foolishness that Counts.

As I write this, I’m hearing that today will be a delightful, sunny, pre-spring day with temps in the low to mid forties. The hope that the weatherman is right is what’s keeping me going. Along, of course, with blogs! Here’s some of what I’ve read…Trent Lewin had some strong words about Manliness. Quornstar talked about Body Image, and Jots From a Small Apartment had a beautiful painting to go with a Difficult Question.

Thanks to them, and everyone else, for all the great reading. Seriously, I could have listed a few dozen posts above and not even scratched the surface.

Oh, and American Injustica honored me with a Liebster Award! Nothing better than a nice steamed Liebster! Or something. Anyway, she has a great site, and I love her Ink photos right along with her writing. Hope you check her out!

No…no, I think I prefer vanilla. Maybe. Hold on…

Last time, many of you checked out the poll, wherein we asked to take a look inside the churning maelstrom of your minds by asking you to finish the phrase I think…, and the view was spectacular! Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are reconsidered in italics.)

(Whoohoo! I’ve been waiting forever to use that phrase!!!)

Oh, this old thing? Just some thing I poured on…

This week, with Spring less than two weeks away, we turn to the biggest thing on everyones minds: Bikini Season! So we’re asking, how will you get ready for this important time period? Answer often, but answer soon, because this one ends Tuesday, 11 March, 2359 EDT (Daylight Savings starts Sunday). Try and keep yourself to three Other answers if you do write-ins, and if you do leave an Other, add a way to recognize you at the end, and I’ll link back to you next week.

And to finish up, I thought I’d go with some incredible(y stupid) warm weather stunts.
First, I used this a long time ago and had forgotten it, but Dianne Gray reminded me about it on Tuesday’s post.
And this one I was probably introduced to by Frank

Can’t believe I missed this one! For me, the fascinating part is where someone says “Ok, let’s pretend this isn’t the stupidest thing ever and it would kill us straightaway. How would we do it then?”
Magic happens in the answer to that question, regardless of how many have answered it before.
(Wow, I’m philosophical tonight.)
(And a bit tired.)
(As shown by the fact that I almost spelled that “filosophical”.)

The day before I was set to head back to Toronto after 6 weeks in Vegas, watching the local evening news, the anchors were bantering back and forth. “Only 26 days until Spring arrives!”; “Can’t wait! It’s been a loooong winter!” and so on, and so forth.
My husband and I looked at each other and simultaneously said, OH F&*K OFF! Like you people know anything about winter. Seriously. 24 hours in the North East and they’d be crying like babies.
That said… how many days til Spring? I’m so over it. (Says the woman who has spent all of 6 days back in the northeast this winter…)

I think..therefore I think I maybe am overthinking..
I havent quite got used to the new cutoffs.for the poll. BUTT (& thats a really big one see how I added thr extra T ?) ..ok I forgot why I added the but cause I got sidetracked by thinking I was clever.. and cant remember what I was going to say.. hmm. Anyways..great foolishness today so happy to start my Friday off with it again 🙂 I havent decided where I rank that picture in your growing collection of alarming images ..I cant decide if it requires more eye bleach than the liederhosen although it is less than pete rose.. and so my dilema for the day.. where do you even find these things? No! Nevermind I dont want to know.. have a wonderful weekend ..here comes Spring! My kids start spring break today.. 2 1/2 glorious weeks of no school.. (yes you read that in the proper tone of sarcasm.. gl.o.r.I.o.u.s. ) so I will eitber be around a lot ..or hiding somewhere.
Hi to TMWGITU.
😛
catch ya on the flip side. 🏄

My brain stalled at “low to mid forties” and thought about how I’ll be turning to a true high forties in 20 days bringing me even closer to an even fifties. And then I felt old, and hated you for reminding me about my age.

I know you were implying it subliminally in your message. I know it was directed right towards me. Sheesh. The nerve of you.

I can read the Others. they go into the Polldaddy site, and I take them from there. All the commetns in bold at the top are the other write ins from the last poll.
If you wanted to add your name but didn’t, you can put in part of the answer + is MaggieOC, and I’ll see that too.

Or you can leave part of it and your name in the comments, and I’ll mark it for next week.

Oh,man! That banana hammock is an image I will have with me ALL weekend – and that’s not a good thing (says Mr. Brickhouse). Honestly, between my 50 yr. old love handles, my growing brown spots and wrinkles, I will be wearing a space suit this summer.

That bikini man picture is so disturbing that I can’t make any more sentences. I don’t even think it was poured on, I think it’s an “add-on” — you know, for that extra special pair of jeans with a big pouch that needs filled out to really show off the stitching! Arg.

I won’t tell you about our 60s temps, Guap. No need to add to your pre-Spring suffering! Great vid, BTW! Happy day! xL

Ha, Darth Vader won. Of course! My son wants to fly now. I told him he could do the second one! That’s really cool. I’ve never seen that one before. Enjoy your weekend of nice weather. Spring is coming.

I wish I were young enough and flexible enough to put in the effort he must have to be get to the point where I could do that!
But when your son is at that point, I’d be more than happy to hold the balloons of him!

I read this this morning and I must have gotten so excited about spring, I completely forgot to leave a comment! A wonderfully enjoyable foolishness and I LOVED both the videos. Thanks for making my life more springy!

Once again I have fallen through the cracks into oblivion… so in honor of my lack of existence, I will not prepare for beach season… I will just get a thong… and pull it so far up my ass it cuts me in half.

PS – WordPress has decided that I don’t follow the people I follow, so I’ve had to re-follow 6 or 7 blogs. I was wondering why people weren’t writing anymore. Just wanted to give you an explanation of that follow– I wasn’t like holding out or anything haha.

Well Guap, apparently I haven’t eased up on the puzzles and my brain is still cramping…forgot to add that you can do that water jet pack thing here in Atlanta at http://flyboardatlanta.com/. But you probably want to wait till it is a little warmer. 70 today, but going back down to freezing tonight. 😦

Wow, you are REALLYYY looking forward to the spring/summers *Cringes at the thought* (because I kinda hate summers) (pleaseee don’t kill mee!!!)
And all the answers were great, How do people think of such clever things to say! Congrats on the award 🙂
